Picollo's (Facebook)
WORCESTER — Piccolo's is celebrating 23 years on Shrewsbury Street with a nod to longtime customers and a fan-favorite bottle.
In a social media post this week, the restaurant announced it will offer $23 bottles of Dragani Montepulciano throughout the week to mark the anniversary. The promotion mirrors the milestone year and is intended as a thank-you to patrons who have supported the neighborhood spot since it opened.
“For 23 years, you’ve made Piccolo’s feel like home,” the restaurant wrote, adding that while it wishes it could share decades of photos, many memories remain archived.
Piccolo’s, located at 157 Shrewsbury Street, has been part of Worcester’s dining scene for more than 2 decades, drawing regulars and visitors alike. The anniversary special runs all week, the restaurant said.
